Hello and welcome to . . .

Today's Question(s):
Whose was the last or a memorable funeral you attended?

Only my parents and it was long time ago.

Is there a trend not to have funerals at all, and do you have any opinion about that?

I don't want my own funeral. Just cremation. Scatter my ashes to the wind.

Any experiences or thoughts to share about funerals or memorial services or related goings on
(drama or humor allowed, but not required) or skip to next question?

I have nothing to report, except a big sadness that never really left me since my parents are gone. I miss them every day.

Foodie Question(s):
How soon after you wake each day do you eat?

It depends on the plan for the day. On very busy days I have early breakfast to recharge my energy.

What foods do you keep on hand for when you don't have time to cook or don't want to?

I always cook bigger portions, so I can freeze few servings for "rainy" days when I don't feel like cooking.

Do you find peaches peachy?

Not lately. Last few seasons they were dry and tasteless, like every other mass production.

Just to:
It's not a good idea to mix bleach and rubbing alcohol.


More questions tomorrow.

Yay!! Thank you, bjh!!

Today's Question(s):
Whose was the last or a memorable funeral you attended?
My cousin Barbara and her husband Art, who died just weeks apart in 2018. They were in their late 80s and early 90s, the kind of couple you couldn't imagine one without the other. So everyone said it seemed only right that they left this world together.
Is there a trend not to have funerals at all, and do you have any opinion about that?
I am not a fan of funerals, but I think memorial gatherings are a nice way not only to pay tribute to the one who is gone but also for the survivors to support one another and share their memories.
Any experiences or thoughts to share about funerals or memorial services or related goings on
(drama or humor allowed, but not required) or skip to next question?
Skip to next question because I can't think of anything.
Foodie Question(s):
How soon after you wake each day do you eat?
Usually within 20 minutes or so.
What foods do you keep on hand for when you don't have time to cook or don't want to?
Canned soups, frozen chicken breasts, frozen entrees, canned tuna, cheese slices. I especially like Blake's pot pies and Amy's vegetarian meals.
Do you find peaches peachy?
Yes, I have always liked peaches.
Just to:
It's not a good idea to mix
BLM supporters and Proud Boys.


Thanks, bjh!

I think so but I have no opinion.

No set time. Sometimes skip breakfast.

What foods do you keep on hand for when you don't have time to cook or don't want to? That's all the time.

Last funeral was for my former boss. She was sad when I transferred west.
